first ten days of the present month,
has been warmer than has been ex-
perienced, in this city, during the
last fifteen years, as compared with
the average temperatures Of the first
ten days of each July, commencing
with 1873. The following, compiled
by j. J. Fitzgerald, of the q. S.
weather office, in this city, will show
the average temperature for each
day of July, from the first to tenth,
inclusive, for fifteen years. The only
years when the average temperature
in July was nearly as high as that of
the present year, were 1878 and 1879 :

rush down the slippery dock and leap into
the-water-if the steward had not caught
and landed him safe on the boat. AT CISCO
da a number were added 10 our load. AT
East Tawss the boat was loaded, and a rush
made for the saloon as soon as the boat left
the dock, and was kept up until Tawas was
reached. At Point Lookout a short stop
was made, and the voyage was continued TO
Bay City. At $50 A. NJ, we reached the
dock at Bay City, and was joyously welcom-

Some strolled about until breakfast, which
was served on the boat, and some slept.
After breakfast the Guards were received
by Co. d, and escorted TO the Washington
street rink, where they broke ranks, and
cigars and lemonade were then furnished
by the Peninsulars. At I045 the Guards,
with the Detroit Light Infantry, East Sagi-
nav, Saginaw, Flint and Bay City compan-

sion. While listening to the address at the
Park, il commenced to rain, and the signal
10 fall in was given, and for awhile the ba-
tallion marched with military precision for
a short distance towards the rink, when II
being down-pour of water, the command

soon brought them TO the shelter OF the
rink. Dinner was the next in order, which
was served in the rink, and lively time was
made in disposing Of the good things pro-

the next in order. Major Hawley announc-
ed that on account Of the rain dress parade
would be omitted. This left the boys to
enjoy themselves after each ones idea until
supper, which was served from D to $50.

Next Monday the tax payers have
TO decide the question as to whether
the city shall be bonded 10 the amount
of $4,000 for paving streets, and we
hope every tax payer will earnestly
examine the question. 1t is very evil
dent TO everyone in Alpena, that the
principal streets of Alpena should be
paved, but it is also equally evident
that debt is not good improvement
to any city. The $4,000 will pave
about three miles of street. The
amount of the bonds is not the only
cost. There is the interest. The
bonds could be negotiated at not to
exceed five per cent interest. They
are to be drawn so that $4,000 will be
paid every year, and the last one will
be payable seven years from date Of
issue. The total interest, at 3 per
cent, during the seven years, will be
$1,000, and thus the entire cost would
be $4,000 for the $4,000 worth OF
paving. In other words the property
owners would have to pay $1,000 for
the use of $4,000. For the extra
outlay the citizens would have the
benefit derived from three miles OF
paved streets. 1t would tend to in
crease the value of property adjacent,
and there is no doubt as to the city
generally being much benefited there
by. All the money would be spent
here, as the cedar, lumber, and grav-
ell are obtained at this place, and not
a dollar has to go to other places for
material. The bonds would be paid
before the numbering interest had ma
terially lessoned, and thus large por-
ton of the tax would be paid by the
lumbermen.
One thing, however, has to be re-
membered. A debt is not beneficial
either to private individual or a
community. If a city is in debt, the
individuals who own the houses and
lots have to pay the debt, each one &C.
cording to what property he has. A
city debt is therefore an individual
one. Then it must be remembered
that the city is already bonded for
$4,000, and that the yearly expenses
of the city are high. and are growing
larger every year. High taxes are
not a good advertisement, and they
do not bring prosperity, They are a
curse to any place, and discourage
people who desire to build up homes.
and they depress manufacturing in
dustries. Therefore let every man
earnestly investigate the matter, and
then cast his vote for or against as in
his judgement he thinks is best for
the city and himself.

President Cleveland and the G. A. R.

President Cleveland and The g. A. X.
A short time ago President Cleve-
land was invited by the citizens of St.
Louis to visit that city when the en-
campment of the G. A. r. should
take place. Some Of the G. A. r. OBJ
jected to the President being at St.
Louis at the time the encampment is
held, and some posts declared they
would not go to st. Louis if the Pres
ident went there. The hostility to
the President is caused by his having
vetoed pension bill which was to
give a pension to every man who serv-
ed at least three months in the north
ern army, if unable to earn living.
1t was said that if he went to ST..
Louis, he would be subjected to in
suits. The President wrote the St.
Louis people as follows:
EXECUTIVE MASsIoN, /
WAsnISoTos, July Z, 1887. !
Hon ID. Il. Francis, Mayor and Chairman.
MY DEAR SIR.-When l received
the extremely cordial and gratifying
invitation from the citizens of St.
Louis rendered by a number of re-
preventative men, to visit that city
during the national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic, l
had been contemplating for some time
the acceptance of an invitation from
that organization to the same effect,
and had considered the pleasure which
it would afford me, if it should be
possible to meet not only the members
of the Grand Army, but the people
of st. Louis and other cities in the
west, which the occasion would give
me an opportunity to visit. The ex-
actions of my public duties felt to
be SO uncertain, however, that, when
FIRST confronted by the delegation of
which you we're the head, / expected
TO do no more at that time than to
promise the consideration Of ths
double invitation rendered me, and
express the pleasure it would give me
to accept the same thereafter, if pos
sible. But the cordiality aud sin.
certify of your presentation, reinforced
by the heartiness Of the people who
surrounded you, so impressed me that
I could not resist the feeling which
prompted me to assure You on the
spot that l would be with you and
the Grand Army of the Republic al
the time designated, if nothing hap
pened in the meantime to absolutely
prevent my leaving Washington.
Immediately upon the public an
nouncement of this conclusion, ex
pre.sions emanating from certain i'm
portant members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and increasing il
volume and virulence, constrained M,
TO review my acceptance of these in
yitations. The expressions referred
10 90 to the extent of declaring tina
I would be an unwelcome guest at thu
time and place of the national en-
campment. This statement is baseC
as we'll as ] can Judge upon certain
official acts of mine, involving import
ant public interests, done under The
restraints and obligations Of my oatl
ofoffice, which do not appear to accorc
with the wishes Of some members o
the Grand Army Of the Republic. ]
